Totally worth the stay will return

Had to book this stay as an emergency when storms rocked the campground we were at. It was THE BEST CHOICE! The facility is so clean, staff was incredibly kind and informative, lots of extra perks for staying there (IE Chair and umbrella rentals, free mini golf, cocktails in room) The pool was clean and inviting what a great way to spend the time! Only downfall was having to pay for parking as a hotel guest.

It was great. Staff were VERY helpful! I don’t understand why I had to use the USB to charge my phone instead of the electrical outlets.
